[Owner] Choi says the first hour is a lesson on the water learning the basics of paddling in kayaks that are designed to be extra-stable. Then the guides lead the group on an hour-long trip that takes you around the piers to McCovey Cove and Mission Creek, passing under the Lefty O'Doul drawbridge on Third Street and paddling past Mission Creek Park with quiet houseboats across the way.
